Car Slams Into Yonkers Firehouse; Driver Killed

“At first I thought it might have been fireworks, and then it wound up that it was the accident,” a witness, Sheri, told WCBS 880’s Monica Miller.

Police told CBS 2 the vehicle first plowed into a pole, then slammed into the wall of the fire station.

A witness, Luciano, was at work at his restaurant across the street when the accident happened.

“I was talking to a customer, and then all of a sudden, I heard a big impact. It sounded like a bomb or something, you know?” he said. “And I looked outside, and I saw the car like that. It was so fast that it was really unbelievable. And we saw the body outside the car on the sidewalk there.”

Luciano told 1010 WINS’ Michaels he did not hear any brakes.

“The only thing that I heard was the impact, and I think when I heard the impact was when he hit the wall,” he said.

The driver was ejected from the car. He had no passengers, and no one inside the firehouse was injured, police said.
